Ariel の成人の日,

Ariel has always been the baby of the family. She's always had Byte to care and protect her. This incident is her 成人の日(coming of age).

We recently discovered that she had some sort of rash on her back and it was getting kinda red and patchy. Checked it out online, it could be fungus... ring worm... or just a rash. We didn't want to take the chance, so we isolated her from Byte (so that Byte doesn't get it too) and took her to the vet.

This is her in her isolation cage. Poor baby wasn't used to it at first but kinda liked the privacy of her own 'room' after a bit :P

She was scared but put on a brave front. Poor little baby had to go through a scrape test... and at first she was ok with it until it started to get a little tender and raw, poor baby started to wheek.

Anyways, good news, it's just a rash. Nothing like a medicated shampoo and anti-bacterial cream to take care of it.

Her medicated shampoo, anti-bacterial cream and medical bill.

All we have to do is to bathe her about once a week and apply anti-bacterial cream for her twice a day... *phew* thank goodness it's nothing too serious!!!

Hehehe Ariel having her first bath!
